Cornpany’s Statement.
The full text of the statement is-
sued by the company reads as follows:
"At a niectin" of the board of ci-
.rectots of the Connecticut company
held on Jan. 13. a second voluntary
fare reduction was authorized. but as
two of the directors were absent no
formal statement could be made until
their attitude' was ascertained.
“This has since then been discussed
with the Public Utilities Commission
and it is understOod that it meets with -
their approan and Judgment.
“It is due to a slight improvement
in its financial condition brought
about by an increased patronage.
coupled with slight reductions in oper-
ating expenses and continued relief
from severe jitney competition that
this second voluntary reduction is
made.
"This reduction will amount to a
sale of 12 metal tickets or tokens for
90 cents at the company's olflce and
agencies or two for it cents by the
conductors.
"Owing to the excessive costs of
operations and snow handling occac
aloned by the heavy snow storms this
winter this will be made effective
April 1.
"This action is taken in the. antici-
pation that operating costs will not
increase and in the expectation that
the reduction will result in an increas-
so use of the cars."
